Exciting situations follow one another rap.
idly aud the spectator Is kept in a state OF
suspense almost until the curtain falls. The
fault of such play is that at times the au-
thor mistakes the theatric for the dramatic.
"Rehen possesses this fault In marked
degree. Nevertheless, there Is In II so much
that Is really mertOriOus that IL would be
hypercrltieism to aualy2e the defects. Mrs
Barry Is graceful actress with a true
conception OF the portrayal Of the emotions,
and Mr.. Redmund Il an Intelligent actor,
whose talent is hampcred by his role. All
the characters were well rendered at last

Quartet are sweet singers and were repeat
edly eucOred. The RDnaldos are remark
ably agile and were forced to appear several
times. The danciag Of the "Iingarin was
graceful and as beautiful as any ballet

features were all introduced In natural
aud unObtrusive manner, so that the charge

ATqoRNEY RIDDLE's REPORT
Cases in which The District Has Bceu
Interested

Interested.
Attorney for the District OF Columbia
a. Il. Riddle, In his annual report to the
Commissioners for the last fiscal year, also
makes a numbar Of valuable recommculh-
tions concerning needed legislation. lie
states that the number OF cases disposed Of
in the courts was materially larger than
during the previous year.
During the year there were 20 cases dis.
posed Of in the District Supreme Court in
which the District was Interested. During
the same period ll5 new cases were lns,i-
tuted to which the District or It's officers
were parties
In the Court Of Claims the Carroll case
was decided by verdict against thu District
for $3G,O4O.
The Barker case, attaching the validity OF
certain special assessment laws, was de
cided In favor OF the petitioner. This case
VIII be taken to the Supreme Court Of the
lhitcd states. Ii is deemed Of the highest
importance to the District ln view VI tne
many similar cases.
The decision in the Brewer case Ia OF far
reaching importance-.thC decision being In
brief that tax deed made in pursuance OF
sale. for unpaid taxes Of q certain year
passes the property sold to the purchaser
discharged OF the liens Of all taxes remain
ing due and unpaid at the time OF the sale
his case has also been appealed to the
U 5. Supreme Court.
A pumber OF other cases OF Importance
to the District are rehcarscd, but the dccls-
ions have been printed In The Critic from
time to time.
Special Assistant Attorney James Z
Padgett reports that he tried 1,2ll District
cases IN the Police Court and secured . G,47g
convictions.
In regard TO the disposition OF insane
persons IN the District, Mr.. Riddle says
that for some years 1t has been the custom
to commit the indigcnt insane, upon the
order OF the Secretary of the Interior,
based upon an application by o member Of
ihe Board OF Visitors and q certificate from
two physicians; and In the case OF pay
patients upon certificate OF two physicians
and request from the nearest relative, or
the legal guardian. The Court has decided
that such cummittals are Illegal aud cau
only he made by jury. He says there Is
only one place IN the District for the seclu
sion OF the insane, namely, the Government
Hospital. As respects civilians, they can
only he admitted when vacancy exists,
and they are required to comply with the
regulations OF the Institution in regard To
payment of board, &c. There Ia no pro
vision for the admission Of patient who
Is not INDECENT and whose relatives do not
apply for his admission. This, he says
should be remeded by legislation, ad
mitting dangerously insane patients, who
are not INDECENT aud whose relatives do
not demand their admission.
He recommends legislation giving the
Commissioners the right to condemn the
right Of way for sewers In alleys.
The following are the estimates for next
ypar.
